More iPhone 2.0 features

Apple's next generation iPhone 2.0 software is expected to bring both contact search and meeting invites, according the latest builds distributed to developers. Based on a information from software distributed privately to enterprise beta testers, new screenshots reveal a new search bar in the Contacts menu. The new feature replaces the magnifying glass icon seen in the iPhone SDK demo, according to the report. In addition, the drawer button in the Calendar application, previously inactive, provides access to a meeting invitation interface that displays the number of new requests as an icon badge -- much like other new content notifications, according to the report. Engadget also indicates that enterprise users don't get the app store or iTunes store icons.

Revolutionary!

Wow, another trail-blazing feature on the iPhone.

As much as I love using my iPhone, it's a but mickey-mouse when it come to features and compared to my old HTC phone. I read the iPhone PDF manual on the iPhone, I can't store secure information like usernames and passwords, and I can't even cut and paste.

re: password1

double_uk, thanks for the tip. Although 25 quid... it's all adding up! I also assume that I can't maintain this information on the iPhone - it looks like a one way thing (i.e. needs to be maintained on my Mac).

I had been using LockBox on my iPhone, but that requires a jailbreak and therefore I would loose the app on the next OS upgrade (for a while, at least).

fricken

how about one already mentioned (cut and paste), and the BIGGEST one missing from the iPhone in any usable manner....TODO list MANAGEMENT.
Not display, not one way sync, not have to be online... just a basic TODO list. THE main productivity feature of ANY organizer/smart phone.

re: hurray

Testudo, I agree with you about the whining.

And as for the "Searchlight" feature you came up with, Apple already created it; and their "cool name", Spotlight, is significantly better. I'm sure it is only a matter of time before they include it on the iPhone.

at long last-

SEARCH!
I've been waiting to find my plumber too- and my photographers, and copywriters etc.
I got so sick of waiting- I jailbroke my phone to do search. Apple is quite pathetic on this one. Now, I've got Mah Jong on the phone too- and all kinds of other tools- like 2d bar code scans etc...
Apple has been too slow to open this thing up.

Numbers?

How come i can't view Numbers files?? How about the ability to store files and view them like i can store and view music/movies. Save attachments to a folder and send from that folder. This seems VERY basic to me.
